COLLIN COLLEGE TO SCREEN FILM ABOUT SEX TRAFFICKING

Nov. 2, 2015 – Collin College’s Dignity Initiative will hold three screenings of the
documentary “In Plain Sight,” a film that chronicles the way women and young girls
are pulled into the world of sex trafficking and some of the ways they might get out.

To make the documentary, filmmaker Natalie Grant followed six modern-day abolitionists
into the streets of major U.S. cities in their fight to end human trafficking. Learn
how that struggle has influenced their lives and how they find hope for an end to
these practices. Learn more at www.inplainsightfilm.com .

The Dignity Initiative is a district-wide Collin College campaign to raise awareness
and inspire action on issues of violence against and oppression of women. The fall
semester’s campaign focused on sex trafficking and its effects. Previous campaigns
have focused on the objectification of women in media and the victimizer’s role in
abuse and oppression.
